I guess so... I've never even seen one of these things in the wild.

[he lifted one of his little paws to look at it]

So he did wake up next to you... [his animal face was expressive enough to look rather disgruntled at that] he didn't do anything to you did he?

*Actually, that expression on his face was pretty cute, which caused her own expression to look a lot less grossed out*

Yeah. He did. ..do anything? Like what?

*She guessed what he meant but smiled a little as she leaned her hip against the bars*

[his ears lowered a little, and his fluffy tail twitched a bit nervously]

Well, you know... Anything rude? Like...[his next words were sort of muttered and unclear] groping you or something...

*Faye looked at his apparent discomfort, and she only just caught the end of what he said. She wondered if maybe he was somehow actually a little upset that someone else had woken up with her. She sank down into a squat, then sat on the floor, her back against the bars*

No. And I didn't wake up on top of him or anything.

What about you? Wake up next to anyone hot?

[he might be, but he wasn't upset at anyone in particular. After all, it sounded like none of this was intentional and there was nothing anyone could do about it]

Oh, good... [he padded up closer to the bars, sitting near them and sticking his snout out a little]

Naw, I didn't, hah. Just woke up by myself on Isla Empieza. Grell wasn't real happy with me coming to the ship at first... Luckily Kat managed to calm her down enough that she didn't chop me up when I arrived.

[he still looked pretty grouchy about the whole situation] as of I'm even a threat to anyone in this body...

Hmm. Lucky, really. You know what I can be like in the morning...

*As she turned to look down at him, though, saying such a thing felt strange. He was Thash, but he also wasn't*

What are you locked up in here for anyway? You look... completely powerless.

*She looked him over a moment more, shaking her head*

You'd better change back.

[It might not come out so clearly on an animal face, but he gave a frown at her first comment that was something between pouty and grouchy]

[He looked at her when she turned to look at him, only able to imagine how strange he must look to her]

I don't know. I guess it's the only way Grell would let me on the ship without killing me. I'm hoping she'll let me out once they catch the guy in my body... or something. I don't know what she wants me to do to prove who I am.

...you have no idea how much I wish I could. This is strange... I mean, it's kinda interesting being in a new body, but it kinda sucks being locked up, being something you don't like, and wondering if or when this is gonna fix itself

*She noticed a change on his face, but didn't quite know what it was supposed to be. She gave her own little frown as she tilted her head at him*

What is that screwed up face supposed to mean?

The guy in your body will be on the ship somewhere. He better be looking after it.

*Then she shook her head, definitely displeased this time, turning away to look at the wall rather than at Thash's new body*

Urgh. You like it? There's no way I'm...

*She lowers her voice so no one can hear, hissing in case anyone was nearby*

...I'm making out with you like that. No way.

No, I don't like being this way! At least not for long. It's interesting in a curiosity-satisfying way, but it being interesting doesn't mean I wanna stay this way.

[his face scrunched a little more at her last comment and his voice lowered as well] er..,yeah, don't blame you. I don't even have lips anymore. Just a snout....

[his voice went back to normal] I'm makin' this face cuz im irritated. It sucks being locked up in here. If the guy in my body is still on the ship, maybe you could help find him? Hm....but then again that might not be good. Dunno if Grell will attack him. She'll lock him up at least and I dunno if she'll even let me out if he is caught.

Hmm... Even if you had lips... I'm not into animals...

*Though she trailed off at that, not sure at quite how that would sound to him. She pulled her knees up to her chest, only glancing down at the changed Thash. Then she focused on her boots again*

I should find him. At least then maybe I could keep an eye on him. And get you out of there. Bet I could lure him into my room or something...

[he raised a furry eyebrow] Hm, but guys that are 1/4 animal don't bug you huh?

[the question was mostly joking although that was a serious subject for him usually]

Anything that might help get me out of here would be awesome. At first I didn't think it was so bad cuz I just wanted to be back on the ship...now I'm wonderin' if should have just stayed on Isla Empieza till this whole thing blew over. I was concerned it was some kinda attack at first though...but I guess it was just 'Davy Jones' screwing around.

*Faye cleared her throat, finding it difficult to have this kind of conversation when he didn't look or even sound like him*

Mmm. S'fine.

So you would have stayed there for... how long? Huh?

*Then she shook her head at herself, thinking that probably she shouldn't be getting upset with him about that. Probably being away from her on an island was much better than being humiliated like this on his own ship*

I'll go find your body and bring it here, or to Grell. See if that makes anything better. And I'll try not to touch your body too much if I do find him.

...I don't know. Obviously not real long. Maybe a day or two to see if this curse passed? ....But only if I could be sure you were okay, of course. If I stayed away any longer than that I'd start missing you...

[he looked at her with a slight frown, feeling another wave of frustration] not like I can be very close with you like this anyway...

[he nodded gratefully as she said she'd find his body, but at the last thing she said he gave a small cough]

Well....yeah. I hope not, hah.

*Faye smiled, somewhat pleased with that answer, and evidently feeling rather smug about it. It felt good to know that she'd be missed, and she appreciated that he hadn't been stupidly sappy about missing her every moment they were apart. That was something she'd heard before, and it just sounded crap*

Hmm. Nah. I don't think I would. Not unless you were stuck as a fluffy raccoon thing forever... I should go find him.

*Faye glanced at Thash again, then slowly dragged herself to her feet*

[he tilted his head a little. Was she saying she'd get close with him as a raccoon if he was stuck like this forever? Seriously? He wondered but he didn't press the matter... It was probably very uncomfortable for her to even think about much less talk about. If that was what she was trying to say though, he felt pretty touched]

Alright, thank you... [he shuffled against the bars, looking up at her from behind them. Even though he was trying not to play it up or sound needy, he really missed the ability to simply hug her in a situation like this]

Guess I'll see you soon then?

*She was working under the assumption that this whole raccoon fiasco wouldn't last. But no, that really wasn't something she wanted to think about too much. Faye looked down at Thash, wondering if maybe she should hug him or pet him or something, but figured that might be a bit rude*

Looks like you're gonna have someone near by at all times. More or less. But sure. I'll come by. I'll go get your body quick as I can, so it's no big deal. Then we just need to switch you back. Somehow...

Alright. Yeah.

[he wouldn't have minded a hug or even a pet at this point, but he didn't say anything. If Faye didn't like dogs and cats, she probably wouldn't want to touch whatever he was]

There's got to be a way...for sure. See ya. [he tried to manage a smile, which would probably look weird on his animal face even if it wasn't forced]

*Faye scratched her neck distractedly then looked around, wondering if maybe she should be doing something more than just leaving him be in that cell. The guards had left the key nearby, trusting she wouldn't do anything with it*

You want something to eat or... somewhere warmer to sleep or...whatever it is that raccoon's do?

Hmm... [his smile turned a little more genuine at her sweet concern] it's not too bad sleeping in here. I am getting kinda hungry but I can probably convince the next guard to get me something, especially if it ends up being Kat. I'm not starving or anything yet so you can go ahead and focus on finding the guy in my body.

[he was more concerned about that than food anyway]

*Faye looked away with a shrug when he said that sleeping there was okay, and shrugged a little tighter when he mentioned that Kat would bring him food. She smiled very slightly at Thash and nodded*

Right. I'll get him soon as I can.

*Then she stalked off, trying to ignore the strange horrible feeling she felt - because she thought she'd been kind in her offer to get him out of there. But he didn't want it. Either way, she'd head off to find the guy with his body*

[oh, it wasn't that he didn't want to be out of there. He did, and would have loved to accept her offer. But unfortunately if anyone other than her saw him, he knew he'd be in trouble. He did really feel rather helpless in this body, and didn't want Faye to have to put herself against someone trying to catch or attack him upon seeing him free]

Thank you Faye.... [he watched her leave, feeling a bit unhappy himself. Perhaps he should have been more open about his gratitude for her offer and he got the vague feeling he'd upset her. He sighed a bit, just wanting Grell to let him out already]
